One possible takeaway from the article: think of peer review like you think of code review. Code review is not there to produce bug-free code. Every serious quantitative study of code review shows it has surprisingly low impact on defect ra

Does that still work in a remote-style scenario (where the other machine isn't necessarily next to you and you want to remote join your own session without needing to manually click a button on the other machine)?

Is there a way to use Pop solo across multiple machines, so I can drive Xcode on my Mac from my PC, or drive Visual Studio on my PC from my Mac, and also sometimes have others join in?

Are people that excited about remote keyfobs that no manufacturer will go back to conventional keys that need to be physically inserted in the lock? The advantages of physically inserting the key in the lock are so numerous.

Ironically, power shell is the most consistent cross-platform scripting environment today. No more wrangling osx bsd grep commandline flags not working with linux gnu grep, and vice versa. Powershell just works cross platform. And this from

Lots of HN readers are convinced there are all kinds of weird post-ranking conspiracies here on HN, which likely leads to obsessing over any hint of changes in how karma is applied, even at an unrelated-but-vaguely-similar site.

I've been waiting for someone to build this (or build what I think this is). A couple questions: Do you handle retry on failure and exponential backoff on rate limiting? (I'm hoping the answer to both of these is yes.) Do I have t

Lots of good stuff here, but are you really naming your framework "Framework" (as in "With Framework, you can build...")? You do realize that naming only makes sense inside your own company, right? To everyone who uses i

It's ugly and not cross platform, but WinForms still holds a special place in my heart. So quick and easy to build something good enough for many internal uses. For everything else, unfortunately, I reach for React, which isn't li

I was thinking about whether you could also render deforming geometry that way. My guess was it would integrate better into the scene visually, but my intuition there isn't well informed yet.
